CasaTunes Music Server Overview

The CasaTunes Music Servers supply up to four streams of pre-amplified, line level, High Definition audio to a 3rd party audio distribution system. Each server stream, acts as a stand alone music player.

The CasaTunes music server can be used as part of a whole house automation solution, controlled by a third party control system, and/or can be used to control a 3rd party audio distribution system.

CasaTunes provides out-of-the-box support for Control4, Compass Control, HDL, RTI, and URC control systems. The control system typically controls both, the CasaTunes music server and the third party audio distribution system, or you can configure your CasaTunes music server to control the 3rd party matrix audio distribution system (if it is supported), and have the control system control the CasaTunes music system.
